Encapsulating a crawlspace in Kingston, TN

In Kingston, TN, the experienced team at Master Services tackled the project of sealing a crawlspace to safeguard it from various potential issues. The crawlspace had previously been encapsulated with a subpar material that had torn in multiple places over time. Our primary goal was to prevent water damage, mold growth, decay, unpleasant odors, and pests from infiltrating the space. To achieve this, we chose the reliable CleanSpace® Wall system known for its durability and effectiveness. The system was meticulously attached to the basement walls using secure plastic fasteners, ensuring a robust and snug fit through careful drilling.

Helical Pier Installation in Kingston, TN

In Kingston, TN, a home faced foundation settlement, a frequent occurrence when the ground beneath a structure shifts or erodes. To address this issue, our team installed helical piers, resembling large screws, to securely anchor the home to the stable surrounding ground. Installed with precision to the required capacities and depth, these piers, connected to the footing through a steel foundation bracket, deliver stability, ensuring the long-term stabilization of the house.

Helical Piers stabilized a home in Kingston, TN

A residential complex in Kingstone, TN, encountered foundation settlement issues. Our home inspector swiftly pinpointed the cause, attributed to the building's location on a steep hill. Following heavy rainfall or sudden changes in humidity, soil erosion can occur, resulting in shifts in the house foundation.

To remedy this issue, our team installed four helical piers, akin to large screws, to firmly anchor the home to the stable surrounding ground. Installed with precision to the desired depth, these piers are connected to the footing via a steel foundation bracket, providing stability and ensuring the long-term stabilization of the house for years to come!

Crawlspace Encapsulation in Kingston, TN

This crawlspace in Kingston, TN, became an ideal environment for mold and spore growth. Concerned about the persistent odor, the homeowners reached out to Master Services for a waterproofing solution. The space had been encapsulated years ago by the home builder, but the materials and techniques used were substandard. To address the issue, our team installed the CleanSpace vapor barrier, a durable and high-quality liner that effectively covers the floor, walls, and columns of the crawlspace, preventing further moisture and mold problems.

Additionally, the bright color of CleanSpace enhanced the appearance, making the area suitable for clean storage.

Crawlspace restored and encapsulated in Kingston, TN

This crawlspace in Kingston, TN had been neglected for years, allowing excess moisture to accumulate and wreak havoc on the wooden joists. Over time, large sections of the wood began to deteriorate, and a persistent musty odor started to drift into the living areas. Concerned about the effects on their newborn’s health, the homeowners decided it was time to take action.

 

Upon inspection, our Master Services team discovered a thin plastic sheet haphazardly covering the space, doing little to curb the continual moisture issues. We quickly tore out the old materials and sealed up the vents to establish a more controlled environment. To address the structural concerns, we installed our SilverGlo insulation, a reflective solution designed to enhance thermal protection. We then covered the walls and floor with our CleanSpace liner, effectively reducing the risk of mold and mildew by keeping dampness at bay.

 

Finally, to tackle lingering humidity, we placed a Sedona dehumidifier in the crawlspace. This powerful unit helps maintain a healthy moisture level, ensuring cleaner air quality throughout the home. Now, these homeowners can enjoy peace of mind knowing their crawlspace is both dry and safeguarded against future damage.
